Thanks for reopening! Now that the DPI thing is fixed, I've got a hunch.

When you drag/drop things (anywhere!), does it seem like it takes longer to trigger or is less sensitive?

As a matter of fact, yes.

We put a GPO in place years ago to cut down on things "missing" from our file server when a user would inadvertently drag and drop folders. It modifies the DragHeight and DragWidth values in HKLM\Control Panel\Desktop

YES! You are now an excellent case study on why nobody should use the SM_CXDRAG system metric to measure _window borders_.

Behold!

BAM

This is this DragHeight and DragWidth set to 4. The GPO was setting them to 45.

(We think that this is going to be closely related to a bucket of things, #3136 #1859 #3064 #1307)

:tada:This issue was addressed in #3394, which has now been successfully released as Windows Terminal Preview v0.7.3291.0.:tada:
